An interesting talk by Thierry Carrez in FOSDEM.

Ehdokkuudessa on tuollainenkin puoli

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

Hey!

I just found out about KSP and really want to get into it. However I'm a bit a confused about the best way to begin. Here are some questions about the setup:

1. Apparently KSP2 isn't all that great and I should just get the original game?

2. Given I did that, should I get DLCs? Do they add meaningful content or are they just overlapping with mods?

3. Mod recommendations? Not looking to make the game needlessly complicated, but just the kinda mods that a beginner would consider improvements.

4. Install method? Steam Linux version, direct download Linux version or windows version through Proton?

Thanks!

PS. KSP is on Steam sale until 11.9!

Sleeping pad sizes seem to be standardized somehow like this:
normal: 183cm x 55cm
long: 195 cm x 65cm

I.e. the longer is also wider. I need extra length but not the width. (It creates complications with the limited tent floorspace.)

So, do you know any sleeping pads with dimensions around 195 cm x 55cm?

So far I have really only found two: Robens Vapour 60 and Robens Primavapour 60.

These work alright for warm weathers but a pad with higher R-value is still missing from my radar.

Rain jackets intended for road cycling tend to be just jerseys with a waterproof membrane, which sucks in every other situation of life. I'm looking for something more versatile.

MTB gear is usually quite fully featured, often just not very packable. E.g. I really enjoy my Endura MT500 II rain jacket. It has pockets, ventilation zips and a helmet compatible hood. In my vision the perfect travel jacket would be similar but from a more lightweight/packable fabric.

The best I've found so far is Montbell Versalite, which checks all the boxes except over the helmet hood, as it's not intended for helmet wearing sports. (Sure one can wear the hood under the helmet too, but it would be nicer to wear it on top.)

Are you aware of any alternatives that would have a helmet compatible hood? Or just otherwise good jackets with different compromises?

Spending all day everyday on bike saddle puts a special emphasis on comfort. Share your trusty favorites! (And why not the ones that didn’t work too)

Looking for recommendations of "traditional" battle card games where you don't have to buy new expansions every few months. (Being able to grind the cards with playtime doesn't count.)

I know that there are some decent open-source MTG rule-engines which makes MTG a viable option. (xmage, forge)

Then Slay the Spire comes to mind, possibly there are other good solitares as well?

It's crucial that you choose your camp. No arguments required, vote on my comments.

Personally I've been using it for years and been really happy with it.
